Puivert

We had a lovely visit to the Puivert castle, another pretty castle on a hill. After a drive on a slightly sketchy, steep road, we had a short walk from the parking lot to the castle. 

Here's the entrance to the castle:

and a lovely view from the top:

We'd had a very late start, so by the time we finished visiting the castle, we couldn't find any restaurants open in the area. So we headed back to Mirepoix, where the many restaurants there were mostly closed, with the exception of The Mad Hatter, run by a British lady. So we ended up having afternoon tea there, and ended the evening with a meal in a restaurant in the old Mirepoix - convivial group, with, as you can see, a friendly waiter.
